Renatured section of the Nidda River in Karben

Highlight • River

It's a successful redesign of the river's course. Here, the Nidda has some space to expand.

Confluence of the Nidder and the Nidda

Highlight • River

It's a very beautiful, secluded spot. The Nidder estuary is a great place to rest.

In the middle of the town of Bad Vilbel, directly on the banks of the Nidda River, the ruin of a moated castle holds its own. The stone building dates back to the 11th or 12th century and then replaced a homestead, which dates back to the time of the Carolingians. The castle was the seat of the robber baron Bechtram of Vilbel, who drove it so far with its illegitimate and also overpriced customs claims that formed in 1399 an alliance of the disgruntled rulers of Falkenstein and Hanau and the city of Frankfurt and destroyed the festivals. In the 15th century, the archbishop of Trier Werner von Falkenstein rebuilt the castle on the existing stone ring walls.

Since 1987 the Castle Festival Bad Vilbel has been held at the historic Wasserburg from the beginning of June until the beginning of September.

In addition to four of their own theatrical productions, the open-air stage includes numerous guest performances, theater plays for children and matinees (cabaret and solo programs by well-known artists).

Nidda Auen Bad Vilbel

Highlight • River

Great how the Nidda meanders through the landscape here. After years of renaturation efforts, numerous animal and plant species find their habitat in the species-rich floodplains. Kingfishers, beavers, and even the European pond turtle have been able to resettle here.

June 6, 2024,Mit den Dreirädern nach Friedrichsdorf Teil 2

... The cell phone was gone and we were wondering what we should do next. Block it, report it? I immediately thought of the tracking app. Failed, all devices were displayed, only Holger's cell phone was deactivated. Out of desperation I dialed Holger's cell phone number again. What was that? A crack, then silence again. After repeated attempts, a voice …

March 9, 2025,Von Oberursel über Friedrichdorf Peterweil Karben und Bad Vilbel nach Harheim!

The tour on Sunday was almost perfect! In Peterweil the dirt road by the sports field wasn't that good, so we took the cycle path by the cemetery. In Bad Vilbel on the way back through the Heilsberg district, the path to the right of the Nidda would have been better (without Heilsberg, but past the outdoor pool). The path …

September 12, 2023,Radrunde um Nieder-Erlenbach

My friend Margit and I cycled around Nieder-Erlenbach today and wanted to finish off by going to the Kneipp facility in Bad Vilbel.
We went via Ober-Eschbach to Burgholzhausen, where we met trusting and friendly bantam chickens. We hadn't quite stopped at the fence before they all came running. Then we continued via Petterweil to Karben. From there we drove …
